The hearing, with Senator J. Bennett Johnston, presiding, was convened for the purpose of considering the strategic petroleum reserve plan prepared by the Federal Energy Administration. On December 15, 1976, FEA transmitted the plan to Congress. The issues of whether only crude oil or both crude oil and petroleum products should be stored; where such storage is to be had; and how much it will cost and who will pay will all have a tremendous impact not only on the nation as a whole, but also on each region of the country. The hearing afforded the FEA an opportunity for a detailed explanation of the plan. Mr. John H. Lichtblau from the Petroleum Industry Research Foundation presented an analysis of the plan. In addition, the committee received testimony on the plan from Senator Kennedy and a panel of interested citizens of New England as well as from Senator Matsunaga and an official of the State of Hawaii. The committee also heard from Mr. Jesse Calhoon of the National Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association. (MCW)
